Location
On a stream river called Hengstenbach surrounded by trees, at the eastern town limit of Dreieichenhain (suburb of Dreieich), in Offenbach district, Hesse, Germany.
This day’s weather: overcast with a hint of sunshine – it started raining between 16:00 and 17:00 (CEST).
Participants
- Green guy! (talk)
- Green guy!’s mother
- Green guy!’s father
- GeorgDerReisende
Plans
Green guy!
Due to this day being a Monday, unfortunately, many delightful restaurants are closed, leaving just a single option!
- Drive towards Dreieichenhain and have lunch at the restaurant of the sports center Turnverein 1880 Dreieichenhain (it closes at 14:00)
- Drive into Dreieichenhain and park next to the castle Burg Hayn in der Dreieich
- Go on a walk to visit the hashpoint
- note for GeorgDerReisende: An earlier time is not possible for us, mainly due to restaurant planning and my mother having an appointment in the forenoon.
- Walk around the castle
- Drive back home
GeorgDerReisende
For me it seems that the stream flows some meters north of the hash, but it looks all as private and closed area. But I will try it. I leave Kassel at 8:23, and will arrive at the bus stop Burg Hayn at 11:55. From there are some meters to the hash area. Look out for a man in yellow and black!
Expedition
Green guy!
A nice expedition, but we couldn’t reach the coordinates – a combination of a bit No Trespassing (many barriers) with mainly My Kingdom for a Boat (as the supposed stream turned out to be a river of several meters in width) made this unfeasible.
Note: Not feeling like writing the report (and adding pictures) anytime soon, but I added my tracklog down below.

GeorgDerReisende
Arrived in time, walked to the entrance of the hash area, found a gate, walked around the whole area, looked again to the gate, walked around the village, didn't see a group of three. A stopover of one hour.
Tracklog
Green guy!: Walking to the hashpoint, then visiting Burg Hayn
- Direction: starting in the southeast, going north towards the hashpoint, then northwest, finally going towards the castle and back southeast
- GPS accuracy: medium (lower accuracy near building and castle walls)
- Markers show all locations where I took photos – many of them are taken for OpenStreetMap surveying and not uploaded here.

Achievements
Green guy!
First-time
I earned these for the first time from this geohash.
 |
Green guy! earned the My kingdom for a boat consolation prize
|
Recurring
I already earned these from an earlier geohash, but fulfilled the conditions again on this one.
 |
Green guy! earned the No trespassing consolation prize
|
I’m not sure if this actually counts as No Trespassing since the river itself would have likely prevented us from reaching the hashpoint even without the presence of barriers and signs.
